Research domains
This may be useful in applications where the role of the candidate or team, and their approach to specific questions is relevant. It may be any research domain, and may be applicable to individual assessment (e.g., hiring, promotion) as well as to funding assessment as long as those are relatively small.
Context and considerations
Challenges and mitigations
Challenge: Having interviews as a first stage process will require time and resources.
Mitigation: Counting enough time and resources for the assessment process is crucial for a successful implementation.
Challenge: This process may induce a non-negligeable bias on how people present themselves and how much people-skills they have.
Mitigation: Having a well defined assessment process with clear and transparent assessment criteria can hel counter such biases. A diverse assessment panel is also helpful in preventing similarity-based biases.
